See, I would never advise anyone to opt-out of Royal Mail's Door to Door service because the fact is that it helps subsidise stamp prices. Without Door to Door Royal Mail would loose a lot of money; they'd have to make it up either charging more for stamps and services for people, or neglecting people and concentrating in business customers.
We cut out junk mail and I reckon we've stopped about 80% of it coming through our door. I understand that it MAY subsidise postal costs, but we do have to look at the cost to the environment too.
When our neighbour goes away and we take her mail or table is almost groaning under the weight of all the stuff she gets. You soon forget just how much comes through the door every day.
